👉 The merger fluid, also known as merger momentum, is a concept in the field of dynamical systems and complex networks, particularly relevant in understanding how entities like companies or nodes in a network merge over time. It refers to the tendency of systems to evolve towards configurations where multiple components or entities are combined, often driven by network dynamics such as preferential attachment or other mechanisms that favor the joining of similar or highly connected nodes. This fluidity in merging is not random but follows patterns that can be predicted, making it a crucial factor in studying network evolution, stability, and the emergence of complex structures.
